The Japanese-based World Victory Road promotion plans to return with its Sengoku Raiden Championships event series with a March 7 show.
The promotion announced its 2010 broadcast plans, which calls for approximately seven shows, during a press conference earlier today.
WVR, launched in 2007, has hosted 13 total events, including a Dec. 31 "Dynamite!! 2009" show that was co-promoted by rival promotion DREAM. The promotion has a North American broadcast deal with MMA friendly HDNet.
The March 7 show, likely to be dubbed Sengoku Raiden Championships 12, takes place at the the 13,000-seat Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, which also recently hosted WVR's Nov. 7 event.
According to WVR executive Sumio Inamura, the promotion will host additional tournaments in 2010. Past tournaments produced champions such as featherweight Masanori Kanehara, middleweight Jorge Santiago, and lightweight Satoru Kitaoka, who later lost his title to Mizuto Hirota.
No event participants have been announced for the March 7 show, though details are likely to be released in the coming weeks.
